swine flu symptoms :Influenza A H1N1

Influenza A H1N1: is what it means.

SYMPTOMS AND PRECAUTIONS SYMPTOMS AND PRECAUTIONS It varies from mild to severe form, but the symptoms of influenza A virus H1N1, similar to those of seasonal 'classic': fever, muscle and joint pain, headache, loss of appetite, cough, and sometimes sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. And as the seasonal flu, warns the Ministry of Welfare on its website, can cause a worsening of preexisting chronic conditions. Were, in fact, reported cases of serious complications (pneumonia and respiratory failure).

Those who have contracted influenza A should be considered potentially contagious even during the incubation period before symptoms develop: an adult can transmit the virus from one day before the start of symptoms for three to seven days from the start of them. Children, especially smaller ones, can potentially spread the virus for longer periods.

Then there are some simple guidelines that can help prevent an outbreak of A: for example, cover with a cloth, preferably of paper, nose and mouth when sneezing and discard the cloth or wash it, wash your hands often with water and soap especially after coughing or sneezing or after attending places and public transportation, avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth with unclean hands. Patients are always obliged to inform the doctor on a trip abroad in the last seven days of disease onset, although now the suspicion of influenza A should be considered even in the absence of foreign travel.
